An actual phantom 9th planet?

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

Don’t look at me and think conspiracy theory, this is a fucking quote from a NASA scientist.

The distribution of comet paths has suggested that a very large planet could be lurking at 25,000 AU, says WISE project scientist Peter Eisenhardt of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

No, it’s not coming to destroy us in 2012. But how cool is that? That there may be a whole large planet lurking out in our solar system that we have never seen. Just like that ginourmous new ring found around Saturn by the Kepler space telescope.
